If you are like most investors, you learned about advisors and planners from the advisors and planners who sold you investment services and products. When financial professionals control information you only hear what they want you to hear. Of course, a major source of risk is what they don't tell you. For example, advisors won't tell you they have limited investment knowledge and their role is limited to selling you financial products.

Paladin Registry is an independent, objective source of information about advisors and planners for five reasons: 

• Paladin provides free services to consumers; we have nothing to sell you.
• Paladin is an information services company and not a financial services company.
• Paladin is not licensed to sell any investment or insurance products. 
• No financial advisor is employed by, licensed by, or affiliated with Paladin Registry.
• No financial advisor or firm has an equity interest in Paladin Registry.
